Your student days are notoriously filled with boozy nights out and lazy afternoons watching Countdown.

When it comes to getting the food and drink in, you'd be forgiven for opting for a Pot Noodle and gargantuan bottle of cider from the off licence.

But no university journey is complete without a trip to the supermarket late at night, as you bid to stack up on discounts and deals before the shutters come down.

And a new study comparing the likes of Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons has uncovered the store that offers the most value for students - and you can get a meal in (including booze) for just £2.02p at... Tesco.

A price comparison by crowdsourcing firm BeMyEye gathered data on the price of student favourites: baked beans, Pot Noodles and a four pack of lager at each of the big four British supermarkets - and it'll collectively cost you the most at Sainsbury’s.

Morrisons lands in second place, despite recently launching its very own student discount deal - offering those in education 10 per cent off their total grocery shop.

Rather surprisingly, for bread, milk and eggs, the cheapest place to buy in off-licences at £1.46, followed by supermarkets, then convenience stores.

The cheapest supermarket for these staples is £1.81 at both Tesco and Asda.

A four pack of lager – arguably the most important item for an excitable fresher - is cheapest at Morrisons, coming in at 88p. The most expensive was found at a Londis on the Kings Road in London, coming in at a shocking £7.50.

For health conscious students, they can grab the cheapest avocado at a convenience store rather than a supermarket.

Whilst the average price in the UK for an avocado is 62p, you can source the fruit for as little as 50p at local independent stores.
